Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to integrate the ToushSmart's virtual keyboard with an Adobe AIR application?

In most programs (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc), when a user touches a text field a little keyboard icon automatically pops up which, when pressed, will bring up the virtual keyboard. However, this doesn't happen when clicking on text input fields in Adobe AIR (which is built on Flash).

Does anyone know of a way in AIR to tell Windows (or the HP virtual keyboard specifically) that the user has clicked in a text field and that the virtual keyboard should be shown? The text fields are the standard fl.controls.TextInput class provided by Adobe.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Alan

Thanks for both your replies! I ended up setting the accessibilityProperties on each text field and that was sufficient for them to be recognized by the keyboard.

Hi!
@redoaks can you tell me what exactly had to set up to get this working? What accessibilityProperties did you set? I have similar problem...
Thanks in advance.. Pawel

This code seems to work for me:

var props:AccessibilityProperties = new AccessibilityProperties();
props.name = "My Text Field";
props.description = "Description Here";
my_text_field.accessibilityProperties = props;

if (Accessibility.active) Accessibility.updateProperties();
